I've been wondering about the best way to handle hills, breathing wise. I DO have asthma, though it generally doesn't bother me unless I am either ill with a respiratory infection or around the combination of cats AND carpet (I can handle either individually, just not combined). In spinning class as long as I don't get up to that lactate threshold too often there isn't a problem with my breathing - but of course - spinning class is a rather different thing - as I am very much looking forward to finding out!

Just picture me taking good mental notes of the best way to handle hills when one has lungs that can be a little cranky...
